Fig-4 is a broken detail of the guide drawn upon a somewhatlargerscale and .disclosing Fig.5is anend View of the guide Aas shown in, Fig. 4.` f

Referring to thedrawings, the ynumeral 41.x is used to designate in general a supporting pillar extending vertically upward from; a base 2. A motor 3 is secured upon angenlarged mountingplate 4y formed upon thepillar 1 adjacent'` the base 2. The motoriis provided With a shaft 6 extending vertically yupward fromthe motor through abearing bracket '7 slidalolyr secureduponathe upper portionot the-pillar 1. -v f A chuck 8 is mounted directly upon the` upper endof the motorfshaft 4. yA suitable cutter blader9 is adjustablyand/.detachably ,secured upon the chuck 8, said-blade being mounted within a slot y11 formedina .vertical plane through the chuck' 8y and extending through thelaxisy ofthe chuck.v lAvv-,securing screw 12 is tapped axially into the end of the .chuck toengage and rclamp the cutter blade 9 in' adesired position.

A guidey bracket; 13 is slidably, mounted upon the outer end' of the bearing bracket i '7, saidfguide bracket 13 bein-g adjustably secured'by means of a suitable securing -member 14 extending through a slot 16- formed `inthe bodyfof said guide bracket'to permit vertical adjustment thereof. The bracketl isfprovided With an oifset arm portion 17 extending upwardly into spaced relationto the putter'y bladey9.` The extreme end; ofi the :arm-,17de bifurcatedto receive a;guidemem-` Y ber l18 ladjustably secured thereony by a suitable securing member 19 extending through a slot 21 longitudinally disposed within the body of the guide member 18. f The guide 18 is supported within a vertical plane passing through the axis of the shaft 6, said guide being slidably adjustable transversely to the axis of the cutter, and also pivotally kadjustable within said vertical plane.

A pair of guards 22 are slidably mounted upon the upper end of the pillar 1 by means of securing ymembers 23V engaging slots 24 formed inthe guards and permitting horizontal and vertical adjustment thereof relative to the pillar 1. v The .guards y22 are formed in a U-shape with the closed end eX- tending around the chuck 8 and being adjustable to a desired relation to the cutter blade 9. The guardspermit. onlythe outer end of the cutter-to be exposed and prevent material or workmen 'from coming into inadvertent contact with the rotating. chuck and A cutter. At the same time, the guards .form

a backing or depth gage against which material maybe held lto obtain a desired depth of cutbythe cutter.

In operation, the machine is constructed and .assembled as above described, the ma,A

chine being 'entirely self-contained,` compact `and lreadily movable to any desired location 'within a' shop whereby the machinefmay be shifted and operated independently of power connections other. than the motor 3 which is connected in the ordinary mannerto aV source of electrical energy. Acutter 'blade Y9 having a cutter face of desired form is cutter 9 while said material 'is moved manually' past the cutter. -v

A piece of material 26 to be shaped is'rest- 'ed' upon the guide 1.8 and pressed inwardly against the cutter 9 and then moved longi-f `tu'dinally past the cutter,v the positionof the cut relative to the face of the material 26 being regulatedV by aproper'adjustment ot' the guide18, While the depth of cut ispregulated by! the relative adjustment; of the guards 22 andgblade 9. Asthe material is moved past` the blade,.the cutter yoperates to make a cut of the desired form and depth in the material. The guide 18 supports the ymaterial kwith its lower edgeafxed distance fromgthe planeof cut, thereby permitting irregular pieces of material such as indicated in dotted lines in Figs. land Sto bemoved past the cutter. A pivotal adjustment of the guidelS, asindicated in dotted lines in Fig.

gt permits thematerial 26 to be engaged and supportedat 'a'required angle, or to engage anoifset portion of the material asindicated l in dotted lines in said figure.V v
